Open Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport unveiled
The open-top Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport has been fully unveiled at the American Pebble Beach auto show. It features a removable transparent polycarbonate hard-top roof.
More of a targa-top than a convertible, the roof has to be left at home for open-air driving. The 1001 hp Grand Sport also features a folding cloth roof stored in the luggage compartment that can be opened like an umbrella when it rains. With the cloth-top being used, top speed is limited to a pathetic 130 kph. Otherwise the Grand Sport can hit 407 kph with the hard-top on, and 360 kph with the top removed, considering engine specs of the structurally-strengthened roadster remain the same as the standard Veyron. Only 150 will be hand-built, with 50 going to existing Bugatti customers at US$ 2.05 million apiece. They will hit showrooms on March 2009.
The first model will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to unknown charities. Hope they are proper charities, and not ones that save film-theatres from demolition or teach underprivileged children how to play the trumpet.

Your plan is too long and complicated.

nice plan thatsit but small problem. if you had the money to buy the veyron in order to sell it, then you can directly buy 115 sunnys instead of buying the veyron first
